Automated script to SSH to another server
Hi guys, I have a script which looks a little like this;

Code:
grep $id /usr/local/production/service/distributor/clients/*/out/events.xml | awk -F/ '{print $8}'

I want to be able to run this on my dev box, so need to add something into the script which will SSH onto the live server, collect the data and print it back to the dev box.

I have tried using;

Code:
shh user@server <<EOF
password
EOF
grep $id /usr/local/production/service/distributor/clients/*/out/events.xml | awk -F/ '{print $8}'

However I cant get it to automate the password entry. Is there anyway of doing so?

This has been answered many times in the forum and there are also plenty of Howtos on that subject.
Use the search function of the forum, please. Type in "ssh without password" or something similar and you will get plenty of hits.
